How to sponsor wife Permanent Residency

[sharadmishra]

Dear Team,

I applied for permanent residence under express entry and I have received my confirmation of permanent residence (COPR).

I am planning to get married next month and would like to sponsor my future wife PR. My future wife is already in Toronto and on status as worker.

She had submitted an express entry profile and received ITA but she hasn't submitted the documents for Permanent residence yet.

What would be the best way to get PR for her. Should we wait for marriage and let her apply for PR based on ITA she has received ?

Please advise.

Thank you in advance !

Are you planning to get married before or after you land?

I am planning to get married after landing.

If you land after marriage it will be easier as you just have to get PCC and medical for your wife and she will be added to your COPR. If you land land before marriage, you would need to sponsor her and that can take a year. you would be living apart from your new wife for a year.
